TP-Link Deco X50(2-pack) AX3000Mbps Whole Home AI-Driven Mesh WiFi 6 System, Dual-Band WiFi Booster with 3x Gigabit Ports, Coverage up to 4,500 ft2, Connect up to 150 devices, HomeShield Security

Wonderful product, took quite a while to setup, but upon setup it worked wonderfully, the app itself is easy to use and easy to set with your deco, the WiFi coverage is as advertised but don’t expect maximum WiFi speeds as you would Ethernet. I am very happy with this product

1 month after installing: still superb. I cannot fault it. I also love the parental controls which allow me to create profiles for each of my children and assign their wi fi devices. I can then set an age limit for content, set a bedtime on their wi fi connection and also cut the wi fi connection to all of their devices if I need to. ....... Original review: I got a mesh system because our router is downstairs (about 10m away) and my home office is upstairs at the back of the house so our 56-60 Mbps wi fi download speed sitting next to the router was approx 0.3-3 Mbps by the time the wi fi signal reached my office. Wi fi and internet connection were unstable, lots of web page loading errors and web meetings frequently froze. With the Deco M5 system I'm getting a rock solid 50-54 Mbps download throughout the house from a ~56Mb max speed service. In total we have about 20 wi fi devices with 12-14 of them actually using wi fi bandwidth at any one time. The speed is not impacted by this level of use and dual band mesh seems to be perfectly adequate (I also looked at tri-band systems with a dedicated backhaul but decided the additional cost was probably not worth it - so far this is the right decision). I bought the 3 node Deco M5 system but have found that 2 nodes in our size of home gives equal performance with one node connected to the router as the main unit and the other node positioned downstairs at the back of the house. Set-up was incredibly easy. I downloaded the Deco phone app and it walked me step by step. No network knowledge needed so long as you know which is the LAN port on your router and can plug the supplied cable into it. After that, it's just tapping your phone screen. I had all three mesh nodes set up within 15 mins, I moved each device over to the mesh wi fi network, switched off the wi fi coming from the original router so that devices could not connect to it again and everything has worked perfectly. A great system if you just want something that just works and is easy to setup!

The unit is great but the main reason for this review is to point out to perspective buyers that it is not supplied with a PoE power source, meaning unless already have a suitable PoE supply you will initially only be able to use it inside. A suitable PoE is not expensive, but if it is mentioned in the details that one is needed it is very well hidden. Reducing by 1 star I felt is enough of a reduction as the unit itself is fast, easy to setup and has an extremely powerful wifi signal.

UPDATE: Changed to Sky Q because they force you too from Sky HD. The TP Link really struggles to cope as Sky Q has its own mesh for three units. Downloads, BNC iPlayer and Netflix failed to connect via TP Link Deco 5. I had to use my Amazon Fire stick on Virgin router to watch Netflix. Downloading a program on TP Link Deco 5 took 24 hours each episode. BAD! I reverted the Sky Q back to the Virgin media hub and it now functions. BUT, a power cut and it went back to TP. So block sky from connecting to TP in the app. ————————————————- Original review now. Very simple to setup, but you have to change the Wi-Fi on everything you own. This would be an issue for less bale homeowner, especially if disabled or much older, it take as lot of time and the Meross WI-FI ambient light no longer functions on the mesh or with Alexa.. Yes, everything needs to be ported and in the case of TV's and Sky, entering passwords is a right pain from the remote. It seems to work very well once setup Note the initial instructions are confusing about turning your modem off, well they meant the wi-fi and just use it as a signal decoder, not Wi-Fi I guess. Badly worded as you need a decoder on the end of the line to function. The first unit plugs into you existing Decoder or Modem ( mine is a Virgin cable system, so not a modem technically, via the phone line would be an ADSM modem). The only way to set these up is via a smart phone and the app, it is straightforward once you have registered your self on the app. The first Deco is slow to set up, the 2nd and third ones piggyback onto the first one and they remember the password. Tip: is you use a suggested password, like ~!8"^%*/ etc, oit is near impossible to type it on a sky remote and sky won't use my USB keyboard, the two Sony Tv's did however. There is no WPS button on the Deco M5, but is it asks you if you want to use WPS. HOW? Update WPS is hidden in the phone app. In use the network is good, I added a brick built front extension and the Ring Doorbell (which is mandatory) would not work when re-positioned due to the brick twin walls. My Existing TP link Wi-Fi extended AS 1900 could get a send a signal out; so Amazon laid y my package out in the rain, instead of using my parcel bin, and no Ring doorbell signal did not help. I have mounted the 2nd Deco C5 on a table near the extension, 50% signal, it was better yesterday, weirds how it changes for no reason. It will have it's own power supply in the extension when wired up. Now how does one mount it away from the all-fingers grandson? Buy a wall mount, well they are cheap plastic and ship from China, slowly at £10 each for simple plastic plate with 3 clips. Honestly, they cost pennies to make, so include them in the box. I have already paid enough guys! Frustrating, but essential. I will experiment with a windowsill siting to see if the signal to the porch is better, maybe from above is the answer. If so, I will update this.

The product is sold for delivery Belgium, but cannot be used, due to UK standard plugs, not compatible with Belgian power outlets. This is NOWHERE mentioned explicitly!!

Pratique, simple à mettre en place Très bonne portance

Great WiFi product

Unfortunately I made a huge mistake by getting this product from the UK The power adapters are not suitable for the Australian market and I would need to buy converters. Also I am unable to get Australian power adapters anywhere They are not sold as a separate item

Seems like this is an old/used piece. The box says it included a power adapter but it’s missing.
